IBF Rules
🏛️Official — IBFStanding 8-Count
Verdict
The standing 8-count is not used in IBF championship bouts. A boxer who is hurt but remains on their feet will not receive a protective count from the referee — the referee may only intervene by stopping the bout entirely (TKO) if the boxer is unable to intelligently defend themselves.
